Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts told reporters that he expects to play in next weekend's NFC Championship Game against the Washington Commanders after suffering a knee injury during Sunday's 28-22 win over the Los Angeles Rams.
While Hurts didn't miss any drives after suffering the injury in the second half, he was clearly hobbled and less than 100 percent. Given the impact he makes as a runner as well as a passer, such an injury significantly changes Philadelphia's offensive approach.
Hurts' health was also the biggest question mark for the Eagles heading into the 2024 playoffs after he missed the final two games of the regular season due to a concussion suffered on Dec.
